Fevered Ranting for Monday
To the woman who got in the EXPRESS line with 50 items and then had the unmitigated gall to ask for PAPER....
The EXPRESS check out lane is for 12 items or less. It says so on the sign that hangs from the ceiling at the beginning of the line. I keep suggesting that they hang it low enough so that it hits people in the head when they come up so they can’t miss it, but so far management has ignored me. I may have to go over their heads and take the matter to the division office.
Rule of thumb...if you have more than $30 worth of merchandise, it’s probably too many items for the express lane. It’s called an express lane for a reason. And it’s not because it’s the cashier who can ring up items the fastest. It’s for people who only have a few items and don’t want to stand in line behind someone who has a shopping basket full of items.
To Nichole Kidman....
Bravo to you for putting the rude photographer in his place. It’s not bad enough they get obscene amounts of money to take advantage of celebrities, some of who are nicer than they need to be, this gorilla felt he needed to up the ante by getting a reaction shot. You should have taken the camera, smashed it to pieces, then rubbed the bits of broken glass into his eyes so he’d never be able to take another photograph again.
A fact about the incident lot of the media don't bother to mention is that just hours before walking the red carpet for the premiere of her new movie, “Bewitched” she discovered that her dear friend and personal makeup artist Robert McCann had died of a heart attack.
It’s a double-edged sword when you think about it. The very people who make money for these vultures are the very people they abuse. If it were a fan that Ms. Kidman had done that to, defaming her would have been justified. Did you ever stop and think that maybe the celebrities would be a lot nicer to their fans if they weren’t hounded by the photographers so much? We have a tendency as human beings to treat others the same way we are treated.
Obviously the paparazzi are forgetting on which side their bread is buttered. Celebrities and the law are starting to take action against them and before they know it they are going to be in a class no better than common stalkers.

Maybe I'll visit your store one day! Then I'll come to your line with 21 items and just say I'm dyslexic!
Oh, and can I have some paper too please......with your phone # written on it?
Sweetie, you already got my number!
